April 1901

The first month of the new ABA was a joyous success. Fans came in droves to see professional baseball in its new form. The season started April 18th when the National League started it's schedule. Naturally, the first game played was in Cincinnati, OH. Unfortunately for Reds' fans, the Reds lost to the juggernaut Pirates 10-3. The Pirates jumped out into the NL lead with a 9-2 record, but the New York Giants are right on their heels, one game back.

The American League started it's schedule on the 24th of April. The Baltimore Orioles, who look to be the favorites this year, jumped out to a 5-1 record, but the Tigers are only one game back.
